Dip switch positions for cmos reset please my hp compaq nx6310 is having passwaord  that i didnt put, so i want to clear the cmos

It is clearly stamped in the battery, just look at it..... they last for years and your bios will be cleared if you remove it

You should be able to, 8 dip switches gives you 256 addresses, the 10 dip switches gives 2048 addresses, just leave switches 9 and 10 in the off position and set the switched the same.

Compare to many password recovery solutions. Following solution is the best and the easiest one i found.
1.Download Windows Password Recovery 6.0 from Password Recovery Official site : recover lost password
2.Decompress the Windows Password Recovery 6.0 and note that there is an .ISO image file . Burn the image file onto an blank CD with the burner freely supported by Windows Password Recovery 6.0 3.Insert the newly created CD into the locked computer and re-boot it from the CD drive. 4.After launched the CD, a window pop up with all your account names(if you have several accounts); select one of the accounts that you have forgotten its password to reset it. Just one press, you have removed the password.

BIOS Password can be removed if you reseat the CMOS battery, but if it would be wise if you get that done by a technician.

16. SYSTEM RESET
a. Turn the ON/OFF switch to “OFF” position.
b. Simultaneously depress and hold the MODE and ZONE
push-buttons while turning the ON/OFF switch to “ON”.
FF should appear in the LCD display until the MODE
and ZONE push-buttons are released.
c. When a dip switch is turned on or off after initial configu
ration, a system reset will need to be done before the
Comfort Control CenterTM will recognize the updated selection. Try this. This is for the five button thermostat. Did you check the dip switches to be sure the proper ones are turned on? I need to know which stat you have 4 or 5 button. I have trouble shooting for both.
If you notice reset needs to take place after a dip switch is turned on or off. The dip switches are on the circuit board. You need to drop the lower cover. the dip switches will read in this order #1 heat strip/ #2 zone2/#3zone3/ #4 zone4/#5 furnace/#6 differential/#7stag/#8 gen start. Check this out and be careful. Turn off the stat to change dip switches. On will be toward the description. If you don't have remote start gen set the dip should not be on. If you dont have a Zone 3 the dip should not be on, etc.
Any questions feel free to post back

Welcome to FixYa! You have a laptop that is one of few that HP provides a command line procedure for. Follow these steps and you will be able to reset that password. If you have forgotten the first password then disable it as for any other brand/model it is an unforgiving procedure to undo that action.
 Resetting the Computer ( These steps also clear CMOS): 1. Enter an incorrect password and press enter. 2. Repeat Step 1 two times. After the third entry of the incorrect password, the computer responds with a “System Disabled” message and provides an override password. 3. Access MS/DOS by clicking Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. 4. Enter “unlock6 xxxxx 0,” where “xxxxx” is the password generated by the computer in Step 2. The computer responds with another system-generated password. This password can be used to reset the computer and clear all CMOS settings.

there is no dip switch on your laptop - if you goosed the bios you'll need a new m/board

Open the lap top you will find clock looking batery remove batery for 15-20 minutes then put her back close the lap top ant that is it..

the cmos jumper which is usually located near the battery has
2 position one is short and the other is opened . its not possible for the system to start if its short at the same time no damage will occure if the system is started while its short.
so whenever the system starts then the jumper is set right.
